About Using the Visibility Auto All Property

For both Pick List Visibility Type and Business Component Pop-up Visibility Type, you can use the Visibility Auto All property to override the visibility type property. This property checks the current user's responsibility to see if it includes the All Across Organizations view based on the same business component. If the view is found, then this visibility type is overridden and the user will get All visibility on the object in question. Otherwise, the visibility type will not be overridden.

For example, if the pop-up visibility on the Opportunities business component is set to Organization with Auto All set to true, most users will see all opportunities for their own organization in an Opportunity pick applet. Users who also have access to the All Opportunities Across Organizations view will see all available Opportunities regardless of organization.

The Visibility Auto All property makes visibility consistent across views and pop-up pick applets. It can override any other visibility type, including Sales Rep, Manager, Organization, and so on. In addition to the Business Component and Pick List properties, the Visibility Auto All property can be set on the Link object as well. The Visibility Auto All property is often used for executives or administrative users, who would usually have access to all of the data in your Siebel application.
